Today's video story: Several people have been injured after being hit by a van near Finsbury Park Mosque in north London, early Monday morning. The van reportedly veered off the road into people outside the mosque but it was unclear whether the collision was deliberate. A clean shaven white man has been arrested at the scene.


Focus of the day story: A former wife has successfully challenged a ruling that her ex-husband should get half of the fortune she built up during their marriage. The Court of Appeal heard that both parties earned about £100,000 during their six-year relationship but the wife, a trader, received bonuses worth £10.5m, in Sharp v Sharp [2017] EWCA Civ 408. The couple, in their early 40s with no children, had matrimonial assets of £5.45m at the time of the divorce.  Full story - New Law Journal
